Rolls Royce Umbrella Mod

As a companion to the Maglight Mod....granted the RR umbrella is in the trunk, but seeing as I don't have a chauffeur, this is a better location.

I forgot to tell you yesterday that you did a great job on it... Luckily, I haven't had to use that umbrella yet.

If it is that small of an umbrella, why not slip it into the door panel?

It's secure. No chance of it falling out of the bracket.

Nice, but I think you will keep hitting that umbrella with your left foot every time you get out.

original. but I just keep my umbrella in the glove compartment or door side pocket. might have been cool to mount on center pillar (seat belt post) between driver and rear. so you wont kick it with your left foot.

+1 on originality.
